Enough is Enough!
That’s the message from Clement Payne Movement head and September 3rd Foundation founder David Comissiong, and Barbados Business & Professional Women’s Club president Nalita Gajadhar as they addressed family, friends and supporters of the six young women who lost their lives in the Campus Trendz tragedy last September 3.
Speaking after a peace march from Tudor Street to Queen’s Park Steel Shed in Bridgetown yesterday to celebrate the lives of Pearl Cornelius, Kelly-Ann Welch, Tiffany Harding, Nikkita Belgrave, Kellisha Olliviere and Shanna Griffith, Comissiong called on Barbadians to wake up and make the “monumental effort” to save their nation.
He pledged to those gathered that the September 3rd Foundation would play its part.
In the packed Queen’s Park Steel Shed, Comissiong, speaking on the theme Revelation – A Tribute To The Preciousness And Beauty Of Our Barbadian Women, noted that the effort would take motivated and committed citizens to come together, clarify and promote a healthy core system of values.
“We have to target and reform a number of social sectors and institutions, including our Barbadian family life, our neighbourhoods and communities, our national political behaviour and policies, our Barbadian business system and culture, our educational system, the national mass media, the Internet and video game culture, our churches and religious sector,” he stated.
He said while the Campus Trendz robbery was not a spur of the moment, haphazard event, but one premeditated, it was by no means a one-off or isolated happening.
